Book - 2022

""There is no such thing as an illegal human being or an illegal immigrant." Maria Hinojosa is an Emmy award-winning journalist and was the first Latina to found a national independent non-profit newsroom in the United States.

Funny, frank, and wise, Maria's story is one you will want to read again and again, and her voice will inspire you to find your own"--
